CFA Level 1 Course in London

CFA Level 1 preparation for London learners

Build a foundation in investment analysis with Berkeley School of Business, Arts & Sciences. Our online CFA Level 1 course fits study alongside work or university. Learn key concepts, work through calculations and practise exam questions.

For learners in London, planning study around commuting, working hours and an exam window matters as much as choosing learning materials. First, discuss your preferred online or classroom format with our team, then request a timetable in UK local time. Also, confirm the venue and availability before booking any classroom option.

Online learning

Study from London without travelling to a classroom. Next, ask about the next intake, teaching times, access requirements and the support included in your course. In addition, check whether the timetable follows GMT or British Summer Time, particularly when joining an international group.

Classroom learning

Berkeley also offers classroom teaching. However, ask our team to confirm the available location, dates and class format for your preferred intake. This page does not confirm a permanent London teaching centre or a scheduled London classroom cohort.

What you will study

CFA Level I introduces the tools used to analyse investments and make informed financial decisions. Preparation covers these core areas:

• Ethical and Professional Standards
• Quantitative Methods and Economics
• Financial Statement Analysis and Corporate Issuers
• Equity Investments and Fixed Income
• Derivatives and Alternative Investments
• Portfolio Management

First, use the curriculum for your chosen exam year when planning revision. Our CFA Level I course with Musa Shaikh describes a structure of 15 instructor-led lectures, two practice sessions and three mock examinations. Also, confirm the package and instructor for your intake before enrolment.

Plan your preparation in London

1. Choose an exam window. Check registration deadlines and appointment availability with CFA Institute before committing to a study timetable.
2. Reserve weekly study time. Combine teaching with independent reading, calculation practice and review of mistakes. For example, allow extra time around busy work or university periods.
3. Confirm the practical details. Request teaching times in UK local time, the course fee and billing currency, included materials and any classroom travel requirements.
4. Build in revision. Finally, use timed practice and mock exams to identify topics that need further work before exam day.

Study tip: After each practice session, note why each wrong answer was wrong. Then revisit those topics before taking another mock exam.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare for CFA Level 1 while working in London?

Yes, you can plan preparation alongside employment. First, choose an intake that fits your working hours and allow regular independent study time. Also, ask for the timetable before enrolling rather than assuming evening or weekend classes are available.

Is this a CFA Level 1 exam or a preparation course?

This is preparation provided by Berkeley. CFA Institute administers the CFA Program and its exams. Completing tuition or passing Level I alone does not award the CFA charter.

Am I eligible to register for the exam?

Check CFA Institute's current education or work-experience entry routes and identification requirements. Read the official CFA Program policies before registering.

Where do I book my London exam appointment?

Use CFA Institute's registration and scheduling process to select an available test-centre appointment. However, a Berkeley classroom booking does not reserve an exam seat. Consult the official Level I exam guidance for the exam format and Practical Skills Module requirements.

How do I receive a course recommendation?

Contact Berkeley with your education or work background, exam goal and preferred learning format. Ask us about your CFA Level 1 course in London, available study options and the next steps for joining.
